IRONING-BUCK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 21, 1916.

Application filed September 28, 1914. Serial No. 863,842.

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, BRUNO B. Crronfisnr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and State of WVisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Bucks, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in ironing bucks.

The object of my invention is to provide a device having a plurality of arms and adapted to be adjusted in different positions, whereby one or more of said arms may be provided with a set of detachable members adapted to facilitate any desired number of special operations.

In the drawingsFigure 1 is a side elevation of my invention showing one of the detachable members in position for use. Fig. 2 is an end view of the same. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view drawn to a plane including line a1-w of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail plan view, on a smaller scale, of the detachable member illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 5 is an elevation of another form of detachable member which may be substituted for the member shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 4:.

Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughout the several views.

A triangular frame A, preferably reinforced by a central web B, is provided at each apex with a laterally projecting arm. These arms C, D and E respectively, all project in the same direction from the frame A and their outer surfaces are substantially parallel with each other, but of differing contour. The arm C is comparatively thin and of a generally rectangular form with a cylindrically rounded outer surface C. The arm D is thicker and has a flat outer surface D. This arm may be triangular in form as shown in Fig. 2.

A third arm E is preferably flat and provided with a channel F on each side to facilitate connecting the detachable members. Projections 7 preferably comprise bowed springs which are secured in these channels to the neck portions E of the arm E. These projections serve as anchors for the detachable members.

The detachable member G comprises a flat surfaced board, having rounded corners and tapered toward one end. On its under surface it is provided with an undercut channel H adapted to receive the arm E. The overhanging flanges h of this channel, enter the grooves F in the arm E and are preferably provided with corrugated springs I, adapted to interlock with the projection f, thereby securing the member G to the arm E sufficiently to permit member G to be used for ironing operations.

In Fig. 5, I have illustrated a hemispherical member J which may be substituted for the member G. This member J is provided with an undercut groove 6, corresponding with the groove E in the member G and adapted for the same purpose. The member J is used for ironing caps, busts, etc. The member G is used for ironing skirts, trousers and comparatively large flat surfaces. The member or arm G is employed for ironing ruflies, pleats or any small tubular fabrics which may be slipped on over such member, and the member D will be used for similar articles of larger diameter, such as sleeves, etc.

It will be understood that the device is placed upon a low table such as is commonly used in ironing establishments. When it is desired to use the arm E, arms C and D will be employed to support the device from the table. In using the arm G, the device will be partially rotated and the arms E and C will become the supporting members. When the arm D is in use, arms E and C will be the supporting members.

While I have only illustrated two detachable members, G and J respectively, it will be understood that a great variety of such members may be interchangeably used, each adapted to facilitate a specific operation. The extremities of the arms are preferably tapered to facilitate inserting them in position for use.

I claim- 1. An ironing buck, including the combination of a plurality of supporting arms, connected at one end to a supporting frame, each of said arms having an ironing surface different in character from those of the other arms, two of said arms being adapted to serve as a support for a third arm when the latter is in position for use.

2. Anironing buck, comprising a supporting frame provided with a set of laterally projecting arms, including two supporting arms adapted to rest upon a table, and a third arm adapted to be supported in a raised position by the other two, the contour of the outer surfaces of said arms and their cross sectional dimensions being different to suit the requirements of different garments, and the arms being arranged in such relative positions that any two of them may be utilized to support another in position for use.

3. An ironing buck, comprising a supporting frame, provided With a set of three laterally projecting parallel arms each of said arms being adapted to be supported in position for use by other of said arms, the contour of said surfaces and the cross sectional dimensions of said arms being diiferent to suit the requirements of different garments, one of said arms being provided With means adapted to facilitate the connection of a set of detachable ironing units, substantially as described.

4. An ironing buck, comprising a supporting frame, a set of three parallel arms, connected atone end to sald supporting frame,

each of said arms differing in character to facilitate different classes of ironing operations, one of said arms being adapted to support one of a series of interchangeable ironing members, said device, When the inter- Copies 01 this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents.
